CT 2 - WE WIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[thatsrightimirish]

This makes 230


"Recounts in each of the district's 65 towns gave Courtney the nod, although his election-night margin of 167 votes narrowed to 91, according to results tabulated by town clerks and reported to The Associated Press. Nearly 250,000 votes were cast."

3. Good for CT. And now let's put Shays in the Democratic crosshairs

for a 2008 election defeat. 5/6 House Seats now belong to big blue, and Shays is the only red that remains. Does CT really want a token Republican or is it time to invest heavily in his challenger, starting now!

8. Question re Connecticut delegation

"5/6 House Seats now belong to big blue...."

Isn't it 4/5? The two newly elected Dems join returning incumbents John Larson and Rosa DeLauro. Am I missing someone?

11. You're right. Dang. Sorry. Should have fact checked.

Shows you a guy from Jersey, doesn't know it all.

4. Yay!

I have family members in CT-2, registered Repubs. They were backing Simmons, not just because of the "R", but because, "He saved our sub base". Don't live there, but I suspect the sub base issue is the reason it was so close. Oh, and one of these family members of mine backed Lieberman, too. :puke:

5. Now we only have to sweat Lieberman switching parties....there goes the

51-49 lead!

6. Chris Shays: You're next!

New England's delegation will be 100% Democratic after 2008!

7. Congratulations.!!

Care to help Georgia in their time of need?

9. When actual voted is counted the old fashion way...

Dem's win most of the times! :toast: :kick:

[calimary]

10. Does that affect the House count, or was Courtney already counted

among the others in our landslide?
